Abstract

Abstract : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of dental speciality or clinical experience on differential diagnosis using dental radiographs between vertical root fracture and periapical inflammation. Sixty-three dentists observed ten dental radiographs and judged whether the lesion was caused by vertical root fracture or periapical inflammation. Whereas clinical experience had no significant effect on the correct answer rate (p>0.05), the speciality of dentists showed a significant difference (p<0.05). The correct answer rate of endodontists was significantly higher than that of oral surgeons (p<0.05). It was concluded that training on how to analyze dental radiographs is very important for the differential diagnosis between vertical root fracture and periapical inflammation.
